[Chorus]
C/GLove letters to EmGod
F/CI Wonder if she reads them or if C/Gthey get lost
AmIn the stars, F/Cthe stars, C/Gin the stars
C/GSo many parts to a hEmeavy heart
F/CIf there’s no beginning, C/Gthen where would you start?
AmStart, F/Cstart, where C/Gwould you start?
[Verse 1]
C/GGive, always give what you can
GEven if your allies draw lines in the sand
AmAnd dig, always dig a little deeper
F/CSometimes it’s hard to be my brother’s keeper
C/GLove, so you let love in
GBaby I am home in the wake of your skin,
Amand it’s crazy how we wear our ceremonie
F/CAlways be open to your path and your journey
C/GYes, she cradles my loneliGness
A home in a foreg nAmest
Universal test, fF/Ceel the weight of my love put your hand on my chest
AnC/Gd rest in the cradle of my arms
GThe battle that we face is a place where our scars come Amfrom
And to pick up that gun
F/CMy love we are destined to teach these ones
C/Gto be brave and never run away
GCourage is birthed from the womb on the first light of Amday
Yeah, the day you were born you cF/Came out perfect never meant to be torn
C/Gand silence, never been so loud, and tGhe violence
Never been so proud of a Ampeople
Who´re fighting for a change, not F/Cafraid to lose it all despite all the rage
C/GWe are animals and we cannot be caged
GProvoke us to fight
So we burn a little sage and write Ampoetry
Wiser than the enemy will eveF/Cr be
The minority
C/GAn authority
Are you here to protect or arresGt me?
I can’t tolerate the hate, and I'Amm losing sleep
Can’t breathe because they’re choking out F/Ca war in me
Immorality
[Chorus]
C/GLove letters to EmGod
F/CI Wonder if she reads them or if C/Gthey get lost
AmIn the stars, F/Cthe stars, C/Gin the stars
C/GSo many parts to a hEmeavy heart
F/CIf there’s no beginning, C/Gthen where would you start?
AmStart, F/Cstart, where C/Gwould you start?
[Verse 2]
C/GHuman souls, so we carve them into story Totem poGles
Because we’re always searching for a certain gAmoal
A pattern, a physics, aF/C role
Don’t believe all you’re told
C/GAnd open, open up your fist
GA misconception, you can fight like this
AmIn praise. With the power of prayer
F/CIf God’s on our side we can take the stairs
C/GTo the heavens
Flipping through my chapter seven
GI live with the snakes in the great deception
AmNo court, in this country for men
F/CWho steal from their mother on paper with pen
C/GAnd we’re tripping down a red dirt road
GAnd we’re asking
Is this the way we should go?
AmKissing, soft top feet of my goddess
F/CWe walk the earth, baby yeah we got this
C/GFocus, and it’s redirected
GGrateful, and I’m resurrected
AmStubborn, but I know the way
F/CYou’re the skin of my drum
To your rhythm I will sway
C/GTake my hand
I won’t lead you astray
GWe will not go gently into the darkest of days
AmGrandma’s here, and she says "persevere"
F/CTake a walk in her mocks sees a trail of tears
C/GAnd our fears, are the same as they ever were
GBeers numb the pain of our holocaust gAmears
Always mobbing and motion
F/CMaybe, baby be an island over an ocean
C/GYour arches, how they bend and contract on my Gconscious
Never slipped through the grip of my tAmhesis
And my theory is I shine in your pF/Cresence
A deliverance
[Chorus]
C/GLove letters to EmGod
F/CI Wonder if she reads them C/Gor if they get lost
AmIn the stars, F/Cthe stars, C/Gin the stars
C/GSo many parts to a hEmeavy heart
F/CIf there’s no beginning, C/Gthen where would you start?
AmStart, F/Cstart, where C/Gwould you start?
